i Letters-Patent No. 69,799, dated October 15, 1867.

IMPROVBD PAN IIL-TABLE.

'lO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, J. G. GREENE, of Port Henry, in the county of Essex,nand State of New York, have invented a new and improved Panel-Table;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof; which will enable others skilled in the art to makeand use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, in which- YFigure 1 is a. side viewof my improved panel-table, closed part being broken away to show theconstruction.

Figure f2 is a vertical section of the same, taken through the line :cz, iig. 1.

Figure 3 is a cross-section of the same, taken through the line y y,fig. l.

My invention has for `its object to-.so construct the panel ends ofsewing-machine cases and other articles of furniture, or. thepanellingat the side of a room or beneath a window, that it maybe drawn out sc asto form a. table; and it consists in the combination ofthe sliding panelwith the grooved frame in which it slides, and

I with the cap or top of said panelling, as hereinafter more fullydescribed.

A represents the frame of the panel ingrooves, in which the panel Bslides vertically. The grooves in the vframe A, in which the panel Bslides, have smaller grooves formed in them, in which the pivoting-pinsC slide up and down. The rear side of the lower edge of `the panel B- israbbeted, as shown in tig. 2, so as to rest against the lower side ofthe cap or top D, to support the panel in a horizontal position. E isthe inner board of the casing, the upper end of which is channfered, asshown in fig. 2, to give space for the end of the panel B to movevthrough when-changing from a vertical to a horizontal position. D isthe top of the case or other article of furniture, or the cap of thepanelling. In raising the panel B the pivoting=pins C strike against theunderside vof the cap or top D, which prevents the panel from beingdrawn wholly from the frame vA. This arrangement. of the panel may beapplied to sewing-machine cases, work-tables, or other articles offurniture, or it may be applied to the casing, of the room beneath theWindow, or in any other desired place. It should be observed that theunder side of the part of the top or cap yagainst which the rabbetedlower end of the panel B rests when said` panel. has been turned into a.horizontal position should also be rabbeted, so that` the upper side ofthe said panel, when turned down, may be in the same horizontal planewith the upper surface of the said top or cap, so that it may serve as acontinuation of the` said top. v

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, apd desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the sliding pvoted panel B with the grooved frame Ain which it works, and with the top or cap D of the article or casing,substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose setforth.

The above specication of my invention-signed by Vme this 23d day ofMarch, 1867.
